Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Anil Vij said today that people are showing great enthusiasm for the ongoing Seva Pakhwada. As part of this initiative, health check-up camps, blood donation drives, and other welfare activities are being organized, and citizens are taking significant benefits from it.
While interacting with media persons today at a health check-up camp organized under Seva Pakhwada at Jatav Dharamshala, Mochi Mandal, on 12 Cross Road in Ambala Cantonment, Vij highlighted the success of the initiative.
He explained that Seva Pakhwada, launched on September 17 to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, will continue until October 2, coinciding with the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. At these medical camps, facilities such as X-rays, ECGs, and diagnostic tests are being provided. Patients receive medicines free of cost, while serious cases are being referred to Civil Hospital. Doctor's Teams from Civil Hospital and MMU Mullana Medical College are actively conducting examinations.
Similarly, blood donation camps are being held across all mandals. While the initial target was to collect 75 units of blood at each camp, turnout has exceeded expectations, reflecting the strong enthusiasm of both citizens and workers. “People are wholeheartedly taking advantage of these camps,” Vij remarked.
Earlier, on his arrival at the venue, Vij was warmly welcomed by a large gathering of citizens and party workers. He personally inspected the facilities at the health camp and interacted with patients to understand the services provided. Doctors informed him that multiple specialists were attending to patients and ensuring availability of medicines.
